ODE  TO  THE  N.  V.  A. 

On  the  Occasion  of  Its  Tenth  Anniversary 


HESE  ten  years  seem  a vagrant  bit  of  time 
Compared  with  all  the  endless  aeons  agone; 

Yet,  N.  V.  A.,  an  hour  may  be  sublime 

When  filled  with  deeds,  as  starry  skies  at  dawn. 
Thou  know’st  full  well  travail  that  comes  with  birth 
Of  finer  things  when  vile  ones  we  discard. 

For  ne’er  good  fight  was  won  upon  this  earth 

Without  the  wounds  that  leave  the  fighter  scarred. 

A decade  gone — and  still  thy  record’s  fair 

In  sight  of  those  to  whom  thou  pledged  thy  troth. 
That  they  should  be  thy  children  and  thy  care; 

To  weak  and  strong — thou  keep’st  thy  word  to  both. 
For  through  the  years  the  thought  to  thee  most  dear 
Has  been  to  tread  the  path  that’s  paved  with  right; 
To  trumpet  out  thy  message,  strong  and  clear. 

Like  vibrant  thunder  crashing  through  the  night. 

The  lovely  blossoms  that  the  winds  embrace. 

The  watchful  nursing  of  thy  very  own. 

The  tenderness  for  these  that  floods  thy  face. 

Bear  richest  fruit  of  loyalty,  full  grown. 

Thy  family  love  thee,  mother  of  them  all; 

Thy  deeds  are  treasured  by  these  children  free. 

If  danger  lurks,  they  hear  thy  slightest  call. 

O N.  V.  A.!  The  patient  Christ  eyes  see! 

Roland  Burke  Hennessy.

ANNIVERSARY 


The  Tenth  Annual  "benefit 


HIS  Jubilee  Year  of  the  National  Vaudeville  Artists  marks  the  Tenth  Anniversary 
of  the  organization,  the  completion  of  a decade  of  progress  and  prosperity,  of 
fraternal  and  unselfish  service  in  the  profession,  which  is  unsurpassed  in  the  history 
of  the  theatre.  The  cause  and  motive  of  tonight’s  five  simultaneously  all-star  per- 
formances in  as  many  of  the  largest  and  most  famous  theatres  in  the  world,  are  the 
same  that  inspired  the  universal  celebration  of  National  Vaudeville  Artists'  Week 
during  which  nearly  twenty  million  patrons  visited  1,122  vaudeville  theatres.  The  cause  and  motive, 
coming  to  a climax  in  New  York  City  this  evening,  are  to  sustain  and  reinforce  the  resources  of  the 
Benefit  Fund  of  the  N.  V.  A. 

The  response  of  the  American  public  to  this  one  and  only  annual  appeal  of  the  N.  V.  A. 
in  their  own  behalf  is  repeated  with  greater  emphasis  and  enthusiasm  this  Jubilee  year,  reaching  its 
metropolitan  peak  this  evening.  The  universal  approval  and  support  thus  manifested  is  the  splendid 
reaction  of  the  American  people  to  the  ceaseless  activities  of  vaudeville  artists  in  behalf  of  every 
charitable,  educational,  patriotic  or  civic  enterprise  which  deserves  and  needs  their  help  at  any  time 
or  at  any  place  where  our  members  may  happen  to  be.  Large  and  generous  as  is  the  public  response 
to  our  annual  benefit  and  celebration  now,  it  cannot  approach  in  its  total  the  aggregate  sums  raised 
for  other  benevolent  purposes  during  any  single  season  of  the  past  ten  years.  And  the  public  knows 
all  this.  It  is  aware  of  the  unvarying  readiness,  the  unselfish  eagerness,  the  unfailing  kindliness  with 
which  the  artists  of  our  profession  give  their  time  and  their  talents,  without  pay  and  without  obliga- 
tion, to  other  benefits  for  the  aged,  the  ailing,  the  orphans,  the  deserving  dependents  of  any  and  every 
race  and  creed. 

The  brilliant  and  enduring  history  made  by  the  vaudeville  profession  as  unified  in  the  N.  V.  A., 
is  strengthened  and  made  more  eventful  by  reason  of  the  fraternal  and  business  co-operation  which 
now  exists  between  the  managers  and  the  owners  as  represented  by  the  Vaudeville  Managers  Protective 
Association  and  the  National  Vaudeville  Artists.  In  this  oneness  of  purpose  and  effort  towards  higher 
standards,  better  service,  juster  dealings  and  a greater  humanitarianism,  the  entire  scope  and  spirit 
of  vaudeville  have  been  energized  and  made  effective.  The  great  and  distinguished  audiences  at  our 
five  great  performances  this  evening  are  ample  evidence  that  the  public  understands,  approves  and 
supports  the  ideals  and  the  deeds  that  are  being  realized  by  the  N.  V.  A.  and  its  Benefit  Fund. 

With  the  extension  and  maintenance  of  the  established  charities  of  the  N.  V.  A. — works  of 
mercy  and  helpfulness  that  are  not  confined  to  this  branch  of  the  theatrical  profession — plans  have 
been  completed  for  a modern  200-bed  sanatorium  for  the  care  of  tubercular  patients.  An  estate  of 
40  acres  near  Lake  Saranac  in  the  Adirondacks  has  been  acquired  and  is  being  improved  with  every 
health  device  and  equipment  with  a staff  of  medical  experts  and  nurses  in  charge.  The  $1,000 
gratuitous  life  insurance  policy  given  with  each  certificate  of  membership  in  the  N.  V.  A.,  the 
hundreds  who  are  daily  aided  by  the  payment  of  funeral  expenses,  the  cost  of  travel,  the  pa>mient 
of  doctor  bills  and  the  urgent  necessities  of  unfortunate  or  unemployed  artists,  make  up  the  bulk  of 
the  expenditures  of  this  Fund. 

The  number  and  extent  of  the  beautiful  display  pages  in  this  programme  book  gives  further 
and  substantial  proof  of  the  loyalty  and  esteem  which  artists  of  all  branches  of  the  theatre,  the  opera 
and  the  concert  stages  as  well  as  scores  of  leading  commercial  factors  hold  the  artists  and  the  insti- 
tution of  vaudeville.  They  all  know  and  appreciate  the  determination  of  the  N.  V.  A.,  made  evident 
during  the  past  ten  years,  that  no  deserving  artist  shall  be  permitted  to  exist  in  want,  to  suffer  in  ill- 
ness, to  die  in  poverty  or  to  be  buried  without  honor,  so  long  as  the  N.  V.  A.  survives  and  continues 
to  deserve  the  approval  and  support  of  the  whole  lay  public  as  well  as  the  people  of  the  theatre.

Why  Suffer  When 
I Can  Cure  You? 


Thousands  are  talking  my  treatments  daily.  I am  doing  busi- 
ness on  the  largest  scale  ever  dreamed  of  in  theatrical  thera- 
peutics. Don’t  wait  imtil  too  late.  An  ounce  of  prevention  is 
worth  a pound  of  cure. 


DANGER  SIGNALS 


If  you  puff  after  climbing  stairs  or  while  smoking,  or  feel  tired  after  losing  a night’s  sleep.  If  spots 
appear  before  your  eyes  or  on  your  vest  and  your  appetite  is  poor  after  a meal.  Don’t  wait  till  too  late. 
You  may  be  suffering  from  LANGUIDOSIS. 

DON’T  accept  the  dangerous,  dilatory  diagnosis  of  poor,  pattering  physicians.  REMEMBER,  / have  at  my  disposal  every 
known  detrice  of  scientific  surgical  satire,  from  laughing  gas  to  radium  treatment  for  rib-tickling  risibilities. 

Let  the  MASTER  MIND  of  MEDICAL  MIRTH,  who  has  MADE  MILLIONS  MERRY,  cure,  heal,  and  forever  banish  yotzr 
troubles,  no  matter  of  how  long  standing.  I have  held  CLINICS  in  every  city,  large  and  small,  in  the  United  States  and  Canada 
with  excellent  results.

held  over  from  last  week.  Eiis  butnor 
Is  of  a decidedly  different  variety

Hyiterical 

”Dr.-  RockwelL  comedian  extraor- 
dinary at  Keith’s  this  week,  not  only 
leaves  the  eedfesco  bordering'  on 
hysteria,  bnt  due  to  his  efforts,  the 
audience  almost  to  the  last  person 
stays  tiU  ike  Last  moment  of  tho  last 
act.- — *NEWS.-  Philadelphia. 


New  Methods 

"He  Is  a different  type  of  comedian 
from  aoy  now  in  the  varieties — an 
alert.  IntaresUag  monologist  who  has 
struck  away  from  the  beaten  path 
and  derovastrated  that  a ccmedlan

C.,  -BUXBO.ARD. 


Htmdredi  of  Testunonialt 

“The  audience  at  yesterdays  mati- 
nee could  give  him  hundreds  of  texSl- 
moaiais  for  his  cures  of  all  Ills  in- 
ehidlng  that  of  disposition.  As  sheer 
character  work,  his  delineation  of  a 
travelling  lecturer  Is  masterly.  He 
bad  the  audience  close  to  tears  of 
mirth  ye^erday.- — Louise  Lnn^s, 
SAN  FRANCISCO. 


Wonderful  Besnlts 

"Dr.  RockweU's  reception  when  he 
came  on  the  stage  was  another  point 
for  comment.  It  was  a reception  vs 
grew  and  spoke  voltunes  for*tbe  popu- 
larity of  this  famous  humorist  whose 
superior  Use  of  hokum  has  D^ade  the 
same  impresslcn  in  Chicago  It  did  In

Never  Anything  Like  It 

**rhem  never  was  a show  like  this, 
not  this  season  anyway,  principally  It 
seems  because  of  Dr.  George  Rock- 
weU.  He  Is  a cynic.  pe^lmlsC  and 
gnm  smasher  of  Ulaslons  who  harts  a 
broadside  of  slams  at  our  dearest 
ideals  and  minimizes  everything  bat 
his  own  light  hearted  gaiety  which 
ban  as  Intozieatlng  effect  apoa  an 
admiring  aodSence.”

Strange  Symptoms 

"The  hilarity  waxed  until  at  the 
end  of  Dr.  Bockweirs  remarks  staid 
geatlemes  in  the  full-pnced  first  ten 
rows  were  whlstfing  thru  ibeir  teeth. 
It  was  after  «:5»  and  the  news  reel

since  reviewing  this  track  as  they  did

We  are  pleased  to  extend  our  heartiest 
congratulations  to  the  National  Vaude- 
ville Artists  on  the  occasion  of  their 
tenth  anniversary  celebration — a date 
which  marks,  too,  the  completion  of

own  organization.

m en  the  second  act  has  come 
to  an  end — and  the  curtain  is  rung 
down  amidst  whirling  applause— when 
you  mingle  outside  with  the  excited 
throngs  in  the  lobby 
— have  a Camel! 


When  the  thrilling  second  act 
of  the  best  show  of  the  year  has 
just  come  to  an  end.  And  the 
stars  have  taken  their  curtain 
calls  in  answer  to  round  after 
round  of  applause.  When  you 
join  the  crowds  outside  just  as 
pleased  and  thrilled  as  yourself 
— have  a Camel! 

For  no  other  friend  is  so 
cheerful,  so  resting  between  acts 
as  Camel.  Camel  adds  its  own 
romantic  glamour  to  the  bright- 
ness of  memorable  occasions. 
No  other  cigarette  ever  made — 
and  kept — so  many  friends. 
Camels  never  tire  your  taste  no 
matter  how  liberally  or  zest- 
fully you  smoke  them.  Camels 
never  leave  a cigaretty  after- 
taste. All  the  desire  to  please, 
all  the  skill  to  serve  of  the 
largest  tobacco  organization  in 
the  world,  goes  into  this  one 
cigarette. 

So  when  you  leave  the  theatre 
pleased  and  inspired  for  greater 
things,  when  you  see  life’s  prob- 
lems and  their  solutions  clearer 
— lift  the  flame  and  taste  the 
mellowest  smoke  that  ever  came 
from  a cigarette. 

Have  a Camel! 


Into  the  making  of  this  one  cigarette  goes  all  of  the  ability  of  the  world's  largest 
organization  of  expert  tobacco  men.  Nothing  is  too  good  for  Camels.  The  choicest 
Turkish  and  domestic  tobaccos.  The  most  skilful  blenders.  The  most  scientific 
package.  No  other  cigarette  made  is  like  Camels.  No  better  cigarette  can  he  made. 
Camels  are  the  orerwhelming  choice  nf  experienced  smokers. 


H S 

N 


Our  highest  wisht  if  you 
do  not  yet  know  Camel 
quality,  is  that  you  try 
them.  We  inritc  you  to 
compare  Camels  with 
any  cigarette  made  at 
any  price.

Just  a word  about  flooring  in  general— 
and  ‘‘U.  Tile  Flooring  in  particular! 

Colorful,  decorative  floors — what  an  important  part  they  play  in  the  appear^ 
ance  of  theatre,  office,  club  or  home!  And  when  exceptional  durability 
is  combined  with  decorative  quality — here,  indeed,  is  the  ideal  floor. 

“U.  S.”  Tile  Flooring  is  the  perfected  result  of  over  twentyffive  years 
experience  of  the  United  States  Rubber  Company  in  building  fine  floors 
of  rubber. 

Beauty — quiet — resilient  comfort — exceptional  durability — sanitation — 
and  ease  of  cleaning — all  these  requisites  of  the  ideal  floor  are  combined

To  our  many  friends  in  America,  Europe  and  all  parts  of  the

over  forty  years  ago  is  still  to  bo  carried  on  and  has  never  been 
interrupted  since  his  demise.  New  Tiller  Troupes  are  constantly 
being  trained  and  organised  in  the  usual  groups  of  twelve,  sixteen, 
thirty'two  and  fifty  girls.  For  quite  a few  years  Mr.  Tiller's 
enterprises,  such  as  the  training  of  girls,  arranging  of  dance 
numbers,  booking,  etc.,  have  been  conducted  by  assistants  to 
whom  he  had  entrusted  his  methods,  so  that  the  new  troupes  we 
will  turn  over  to  managers  from  time  to  time  will  be  the  same 
big  asset  to  Musical  Productions  that  they  have  been  for  many 
years  and  which  has  made  the  term  "Tiller  Girls"  a household 
word  wherever  Musical  Comedies  arc  known.

To  Vaudeville, — 

Its  Managers  and  Artists,  Greetings 


lAUDEVILLE  owes  a lot  to  the  N.  V.  A. 

Its  record  is  one  to  be  proud  of,  constructive,  broad-gauged,  bene- 
ficial to  all  in  the  business. 

That’s  one  reason  why  Pathe  is  proud  to  be  represented  in  this  program. 
It’s  a good  cause — one  to  be  helped. 

Another  reason  is  that  Pathe  feels  very  friendly  to  vaudeville. 

Your  houses  show  the  inimitable  Hal  Roach  comedies,  the  Pathe  News, 
“Topics  of  the  Day’’  and  “Aesop’s  Film  Fables.” 

It’s  good  product — the  best  that  can  be  made. 

We  know  that  it’s  in  good  company  in  your  houses;  that  every  part  of 
the  show  is  clean;  that  it’s  entertainment  that  appeals  to  the  family  trade; 
that  each  show  is  put  on  with  showmartship. 


To  the  managers  who  show  our  pictures  and  give  them  the  advertising 
they  deserve,  we  extend  our  hearty  thanks  for  an  unfailing  courtesy. 

To  the  artists  who  work  so  hard  and  successfully  for  the  betterment  of 
vaudeville — our  felicitations  and  compliments. 

To  the  officers  and  executives  of  the  great  Keith-Albee  Vaudville  Ex- 
change, our  gratitude  and  sincere  appreciation.

Dear  Mr.  Scharnberg: 


It  is  a great  pleasure  to  me  to  furnish 
a word  of  endorsement  of  the  National  Vaudeville 
Artists'  annual  drive  in  behalf  of  the  sick  and 
disabled  vaudeville  artists.  Many  people  may 
have  to  be  reminded  that  the  life  of  these 
entertainers,  who  contribute  so  much  to  our 
delight  and  diversion  when  our'day’s  work  is 
over  and  theirs  is  only  half  done,  is  a hazardous 
one  and  full  of  hardships,  resulting  in  many 
casualties.  Distress  emong  the  members  is 
often  widespread  and  calls  for  help. 

I v/ish  to  assure  you  that  I am  in 
hearty  accord  with  the  worthy  aims  of  this 
organization,  and  hope  the  people  of  Wisconsin 
v/ill  lend  their  cooperation,  and  support  the 
drive  this  week  in  Order  that  the  N.  V.  A.  may 
reach  the  goal  that  it  has  set.

Dear  Mr.Alhes; 

Last  year  previous  to  the  holding  of  the 
Annual  Carnival  of  the  jTational  Vaudeville  Artists  I was 
glad,  to  certify  to  the  'beneficent  deeds  performed  "by

memDera  of  the  profession  who  through  either  adversity 
or  sickness  needed  the  lielping  hand  which  the  members 
are  so  ready  to  extend* 

I ain  glad  this  year  to  renew  ray  endorsement. 

I can  not  conceive  of  any  finer  demonstration  of 
loyalty  and  regard  than  that  of  helping  those  who  in 
the  past  have  in  turn  "been  associated  in  assisting 
other  members  of  the  profession  who  were  less  fortunate 
and  one  can  not  too  highly  comiaend  deeds  of  the  kind 
wnich  must  of  necessity  recall  the  period  when  they 
Y/ere  active  entertainers  administering  to  the  pleasure 
of  theatre  goers. 

My  best  wishes  to  all  the  members  of  the 
organization  and  to  those  whom  it  is  assisting.

Mr.  E.  E.  Altee,

My  dear  Mr.  Albee: 

It  is  needless  for  me  to 
tell  you  how  much  pleasure  it  gives  me  to 
commend  the  work  of  the  National  Vaudeville 
Artists  Association,  and  the  charitable 
burdens  that  they  assume  and  carry  on. 

When  we  consider  how 
greatly  the  vaudeville  artists  give  to 
charity  every  year  by  voluntary  appearances, 
and  how  wide-spread  are  the  charities  in 
which  they  assist,  we  can  readily  understand 
why  their  annual  benefit  fund  entertainments 
are  important  events  in  this  great  city. 

I wish  the  Association  all 
the  success  in  the  world  - but  that  is  a 
certainty  for  the  people  of  New  York  are 
grateful  and  they  will  respond  in  the  future 
as  they  have  always  in  the  past.  The  Vaude- 
ville Artists  Association  has  contributed  so 
much  to  the  pleasure  of  our  citizens  and  has 
been  so  sincere  in  its  endeavor  to  alleviate 
the  sick  and  disabled  of  the  profession  that 
I think  it  is  safe  to  say  that  there  is  not 
a citizen  in  this  City  who  is  not  with  you, 
if  not  in  person,  at  least  in  spirit. 


With  best  v/ishes,  I am

Mr*  S!  • F«  Al'boo 
Palace  Theatre  Building 
1564  Broadway 
New  York  City 

Dear  Ur*  Alhee: 

The  annual  N.  V.  A.  benefit  performance  givee  me  another  opportunity 
to  congratulate  that  organization  on  a splendid  record  of  usefulness!  and  to 
wish  it  an  endless  career  of  splendid  service*  As  most  of  my  life  has  bpen 
passed  in  the  work  of  putting  the  spirit  of  fraternity  into  practical  effect 
through  fraternal  organizations,  I believe  I eub  qualified  to  recognize  the 
merits  of  such  a body  as  yours,  and  I can  tell  you  frankly  I know  of  no  work 
that  surpasses  that  of  the  N*  V*  A*  in  making  life  happier  and  better  for  all 
who  come  within  its  sphere  of  influence  and  benefit* 

As  for  the  variety  of  the  good  deeds  the  N*  V*  A*  perfonms,  they  seem 
to  be  boundless.  I am  especially  impressed  with  their  clubhouse*  It  seems 
to  me  to  be  a perfect  symbol  for  the  association  it  covers  under  its  roof. 

I know  of  nothing  like  it.  A club  where  children  are  seen  at  play  is  some- 
thing new  in  the  world.  It 'provides  for  the  elder  members,  and  that,  too, 
is  unusual,  in  any  mere  club.  Such  features  as  gratuitous  insurance  of 
,000.00,  the  safe  contract  on  which  money  may  be  borrowed,  your  work  in 
eliminating  the  evils  of  vaudeville,  £ind  the  fine  spirit  of  helpfulness  and 
brotherly  love  you  have  instilled  in  every  member,  all  seem  to  mo  to  make  the 
N*  V.  A*  the  very  model  of  practical  and  spiritual  helpfulness. 

At  present  such  splendid  work  is  most  unusual,  yet  I know  you  all  are 
keen  to  see  the  day  when  you  will  dease  to  be  unusual,  from  the  fact  that  all 
other  fraternal  organizations,  indeed  all  humanity  itself,  will  be  copying 
your  fine  example. 

Such  deeds  as  your  people  have  performed  can  happen  only  when  the  men 
at  the  head  of  the  institution  are  God-fearing,  home-loving,  clean-thinking 
men. 

The  N.  V.  A*  confers  so  many  benefits  on  mankind  that , it  is  amply 
ehtitled  to  receive  an  annual  benefit  of  its  own  « especially  as  the  benefit 
received  is  only  passed  out  again  in  the  form  of  other  benefits  backed  by 
sound  knowledge  of  the  needs  of  those  upon  whom  the  benefits  are  conferred, 

I know  this  particular  benefit  will  be  the  prodigious  success  it  deserves 
to  be*  Again,  with  the  warmest  of  good  wishes,  I am 

Yours,  sincerely.

Deax  friends: 

My  attention  is  directed  to  the  fact  that  your 
organization,  in  carrying  out  one  of  the  great  charities 
for  vdiich  the  members  of  the  theatrical  profession  are  noted, 
will  give  a benefit  performance  at  am  early  date. 

The  theatrical  profession  has  always  been  noted 
for  their  liberality  in  donating  their  services  for  every 
worthy  cause.  In  addition,  their  diligent  efforts  to  improve 
the  standards  of  amusements  in  our  theaters  have  recieved 
considerable  impetus  as  a result  of  the  work  of  the  national 
Vaudeville  Artists. 

During  the  past  few  months,  we  have  been  fortu- 
nate in  having  a weekly  vaudeville  show  in  the  city  of 
Phoenix,  and  ithas  met  with  the  approval  and  appreciation 
of  our  people. 

I want  to  caimend  the  work  of  the  Vaudeville  Ar- 
tists in  their  endeavor  to  relieve  the  distress  of  those 
who  have  fallen  by  the  wayside  through  ill  health,  and  I 
trust  that  your  efforts  v/ill  receive  the  support  they  merit.

My  dear  Mr.  Harding; 

I think  that  we  all  have  a warm  place  in  our 
hearts  for  the  kindly  folks  who  devote  their  lives 
and  talents  to  our  entertainment  on  the  vaudeville 
stage,  and  it  is  therefore  a real  pleasure  for  me 
to  express  at  this  time  my  interest  in  the  National 
Vaudeville  Artists'  Association,  in  its  ideals,  its 
accomplishments,  and  more  than  all  in  its  membership. 

The  National  Vaudeville  Artists'  Association  is 
engaged  in  a great  work  which  benefits  not  only  the 
members  of  the  profession  but  the  theatre-going  public. 

It  safeguards  the  interests  of  its  members  and  ministers 
to  them  in  sickness  and  adversity,  and  I have  no  doubt 
its  influence  is  for  the  best  in  encouraging  clean, 
wholesome  and  instructive  presentations  on  the  vaudeville 
stage.  Such  an  organization  merits  commendation  and 
support . 

I congratulate  the  members  of  the  Association  upon 
the  celebration  of  its  Tenth  Anniversary,  and  with  sin- 
cere good  wishes,  I am. 


Yours  very  truly,

My  dear  Mr.  Eggleston: 

It  has  been  my  pleasure  to  come 
in  contact  with  some  of  the  activities  of  the  National 
Vaudeville  Artists'  Association.  Their  constant 
solicitude  for  the  welfare  of  the  individual  ones  of 
the  profession  would  make  them  worthy  of  generous 
support  from  the  public.  But  as  good  Samaritans  they 
have  not  limited  their  deeds  of  generosity  to  the 
members  of  their  ovm  calling,  but  have  been  most 
generous  in  rendering  aid  to  sxiffering  humanity  in 
times  of  great  disaster. 

This  kind  of  charity  should  bring  to  the  N.  V,  A. 
the  hearty  cooperation  of  all.  I am  glad  to  join  in 
an  expression  of  appreciation  of  this  program  of  charity, 
in  which  you  have  taken  such  a conspicuous  part. 

Assuring  you  of  my  highest  personal  esteem,  I am.

Dear  Sir: 


As  Mayor  of  the  City  of ’Youngstown  I consider  it  a 
great  pleasure  to  be  privileged  to  add  my  endorsement  to  the 
National  Vaudeville  Artists,  Incorporated.  It  is  my  xmder- 
standing  that  this  organization  has  been  prominently  identi- 
fied with  charitable  work  and  that  it  is  now  preparing  to 
erect  a Sanitarium  at  Saranac  Lake  to  care  for  vinfortunate 
tubercular  artists. 

As  Manager  of  the  local  theatre  operated  under  the 
Kelth-Albee  enterprise  I entrust  to  you  the  duty  of  conveying 
my  well  wishes  and  good  will  of  the  citizens  of  Youngstown  to 
the  National  Vaudeville  Artists. 

The  Vaudeville  artists  bring  entertainments  and  relax 
ation  into  the  otherwise  busy  American  life.  In  return  it  is 
only  proper  that  the  public  should  show  its  appreciation  for 
the  vaudeville  Artists  week  from  April  5th  to  April  10th. 

This  week  is  set  aside  to  increase  the  sick  benefit 
fund  of  the  organization.  The  money  thus  raised  will  be  used 
for  a permanent  insurance  fund  for  members,  the  care  of  the 
sick  and  needy,  the  assistance  of  bereaved  families,  and  the 
funeral  expenses  of  departed  members  of  N.V.A 

As  local  manager  of  the  Keitli-Albee  Theatre  I send 
to  you  municipal  well  wishes  for  a successful  fruition  of 
this  worthrwhile  effort  under  the  auspices  and  for  the  benefit

Dear  Mr.  Campbell: 

I have  followed  with  a great  deal  of  interest 
the  progress  of  the  annual  campaign  - which  is  now 
being  carried  on  by  the  National  Vaudeville  Artists, 
Incorporated  - for  the  relief  of  aged,  sick  and 
disabled  vaudeville  artists. 

This  movement  has  always  appealed  to  me  as  it 
has  appealed  to  so  many  others  who  realize  that  the 
life  of  a vaudeville  artist  is  at  best  a precarious 
one,  and  that  there  is  small  opportunity  for  most  of 
the  members  of  the  profession  to  guard  against  the 
distresses  of  illness  or  old  age. 

I hope  that  this  year *8  campaign  for  funds 
among  the  generous  patrons  of  our  theatres  may  be 
entirely  successful  and  that  thereby  now  impetus  may 
be  given  this  worthy  humanitarian  work.

Dear  Sir: 


I have  at  various  tines  heen  advised  of  the 
splendid  charitable  work  that  the  National  Taudeville 
Association  has  been  doing  for  a number  of  years#  The 
fact  that  practically  all  of  the  money  you  raise  goes 
directly  to  the  assistance  of  unfortunates  and  that 
practically  none  of  it  is  spent  as  so-called  overhead, 
makes  one  more  than  willing  to  contribute  to  the  fund# 

It  only  requires  observation  to  know  that  the 
life  of  those  who  famish  us  amusement  and  entertain- 
ment is  anything  but  a pleasant  one,  and  that  the  long 
hours  and  constant  travel  make  for  discomfort  and  ill- 
health# 


I am  advised  that  you  are  about  to  conduct  a 
drive  for  the  benefit  of  those  who  are  in  distress  and 
ill-health#  It  is  my  sincere  wish  that  your  effort  to 
raise  funds  be  as  successful  as  you  anticipate,  and 
that  a sufficient  sum  be  raised  to  not  only  well  care 
for  but  to  restore  many  of  the  unfortunates  to  good 
health  during  the  coming  year#

Mj'  dear  Mr, Phelps; 

Permit  me  to  wish 

you  success  in  your  plans  for  National 
Vaudeville  Artists  week.  The  work  of 
an  actor,  particularly  one  in  vaude- 
ville, is  such  that  it  is  difficult 
to  maintain  a fixed  habitation,  and 
it  is,  therefore,  more  necessary  to 
provide  for  their  care  in  tJne  sunset 
years  than  it  is  for  people  whose  occu- 
pation makes  it  possible  to  live  in  a 
home  of  their  own. 

Vaudeville  fills  a 
necessary  place  in  modern  life.  It 
furnishes  entertainment  which  is  amusing, 
restful  and  usually  clean  and  wholesoflie. 

I alv/ays  enjoy  a good  vaudeville  bill 
when  my  time  allows  me  to  attend.

Local  Managers  of  all  Vaudeville  Theatres

By  Fred  Stone 

President  ly^ational  Vaudeville  Artists 


HIS  evening’s  five  monster  performances  in  the  largest  theatres  in  the  world 
make  a fitting  culmination  to  the  tenth  annual  celebration  of  National  Vaude- 
ville Artists’  Week — the  motive  and  purpose  of  our  nation-wide  Jubilee  being 
to  bring  material  aid  and  encouragement  to  the  sick,  the  aged,  the  impoverished 
and  the  otherwise  unfortunate  members  of  our  profession.  In  my  capacity  as 
President  of  the  N.  V.  A.,  and  in  my  individual  capacity  as  an  actor,  I wish 
here  and  now  to  give  expression  to  the  heartfelt  gratitude  of  our  stricken  brethren  to  whom 
the  N.  V.  A.  Benefit  Fund  is  devoted.  They  are  not  here  with  us  except  in  spirit,  but  they 
more  than  any  of  us  are  gratefully  aware  of  the  generosity  of  the  public,  the  vaudeville 
managers  and  the  artists  who  joined  hearts  and  hands  to  make  Jubilee  Week  the  wonderful 
success  that  it  was,  a success  which  attains  its  climax  in  New  York  this  evening.  For  our  less 
fortunate  colleagues,  then,  I give  thanks  to  all  of  you  who  have  contributed  your  time,  your 
talents,  your  labor  and  your  money  to  his  most  worthy  of  all  causes. 

I may  mention  a few  cases  of  importance  which  we  have  been  fortunate  and  happy 
enough  to  assist  from  our  sick  and  benefit  fund.  One  cost  the  organization  $9,000;  one  cost 
$7,000;  another  required  $5,000;  and  many  for  lesser  sums.  Did  you  ever  before  hear  of  a 
theatrical  organization  spending  $9,000  to  salvage  one  human  life;  $7,000  to  alleviate  the  suffer- 
ings of  a member  of  whom  you  probably  never  heard  before.  He  is  one  of  the  lowly,  though 
still  our  brother.  Instead  of  having  a home  for  retired  or  incapacitated  needy  members,  w'e  give 
them  a weekly  allowance  of  $20  to  $30  a week  so  that  they  are  not  restricted  in  any  way  and 
can  lead  their  own  lives  as  they  see  fit. 

It  is  indeed  a blessing  to  know  that  our  branch  of  the  profession  has  been  relieved  of 
the  suffering,  the  poverty  and  the  many  heartaches  which  would  result,  w-ere  it  not  for  this 
magnanimous  action  on  the  part  of  the  Vaudeville  Managers’  Protective  Association,  the  Na- 
tional Vaudeville  Artists  and  all  the  people  of  vaudeville. 

It  is  a matter  of  great  importance  to  know  that  the  present  order  of  things  does  more 
for  the  vaudeville  artists  in  the  way  of  bettering  his  working  conditions,  creating  a determi- 
nation of  fair  dealing  and  making  it  possible  for  him  to  tide  over  evil  days  (if  they  come  to 
him  or  her)  than  at  any  time  in  the  history  of  vaudeville  in  America. 

It  is  a significant  fact  that  we  have  operating  with  us,  and  for  us,  the  full  strength  of 
the  vaudeville  industry,  men  of  vision,  men  of  action,  and  most  of  all,  men  of  unquestioned 
integrity  and  honesty. 

For  all  our  brothers  and  sisters  in  whose  behalf  these  splendid  performances  are  given, 
I therefore  give  the  cordial  thanks  and  lasting  gratitude  which  is  due  to  every  artist  participat- 
ing, every  manager  assisting  and  more  than  all  to  that  vast  and  impersonal  but  always  generous 
public  who  contributed  so  generously  during  our  national  Jubilee  Week’s  performances  and  that 
is  represented  here  tonight  by  the  best  citizenry  of  the  greatest  city  in  the  world.

said  MR.  HOUSTAN  RICHARDS, 
the  inimitable  comedian  in  the  great 
Broadway  success,  Rose  Marie.  When 
"Hard  Boiled  Hoitnan  ” was  threatened 
with  a plunge  in  boiling  hot  soap  suds, 
his  witty  response  brought  a laugh  from 
even  the  gloomiest  grouch  in  the  audi- 
ence. 


The  clever  laugh-maker  knows  well  how  to  win  audiences  by 
reference  to  the  everyday  things  of  life. 


In  Oshkosh  or  New  York  people  are  interested  in  much  the  same 
things.  Whether  it’s  a Ford  or  a package  of  Lux  or  a cake  of  Lifebuoy  or 
radio  or  Rinso,  these  commonplace  things  are  the  common  denominators 
of  our  national  life.  ^ 


It’s  interesting  to  realize  how  keen  stage 
folks  are  at  ''sizing  np”  a product.  They  know 
instinctively  whether  it’s  a part  of  the  daily 
lives  of  their  audiences  — and  whether  it’s 
popular.  We  feel  mighty  well  pleased  when 
one  of  our  products  is  mentioned  behind  the 
footlights  — to  us  it  means  that  in  the  judg- 
ment of  theatrical  people  the  brand  is  in  right 
with  the  public — the  crowd  has  a friendly 
feeling  for  it.

TF  this  picture  represented  a regular  theatre  at  an  evening  perform' 
ance,  there  would  be  nothing  unusual  about  it. 

But  when  you  consider  that  it  was  taken  during  the  noonmour  in 
the  heart  of  an  industrial  plant,  it  does  become  “a  different  kind  of 
audience.” 

Each  noon'hour  twenty'five  hundred  or  more  employees  of  The 
National  Cash  Register  Company  gather  in  the  Schoolhouse.  There 
is  regular  entertainment  consisting  of  vaudeville  acts,  music,  and 
motion  pictures. 

Many  members  of  the  N.  V.  A.  have  been  our  guests  during  these 
entertainments.  Quite  frequently  they  have  very  kindly  helped  to 
make  these  meetings  more  successful  by  appearing  personally. 

To  those  who  have  visited  us  we  extend  a cordial  invitation  to 
come  again  at  any  time.  And  we  hope  that  all  other  members  of 
the  Association  will  consider  a visit  to  our  factory  one  of  the 
“Things  to  Do”  when  playing  Dayton.

The  Fifteen^Year^Old  Leading  Lady

By  Bob  Hall 

THAT  extemporaneous  CHAP 

Direction:  Harry  Weber 


IRLIES,  Girlies,  sweet  and  fair, 

Here’s  something  new  for  you  to  wear; 
They’ll  make  you  laugh  at  summer’s  heat — 
They’re  cool  and  trim  and  quite  a treat! 
You  bobbed  your  hair  and  liked  it  fine 
And  now  we’ve  bobbed  another  line 
And  Oh!  The  hit  that  they  have  made 
With  their  silken  threads  of  every  shade! 
Perhaps  you’ve  worn  your  hosiery  rolled. 
But  that  is  bunglesome  (I’ve  been  told) 

Now  PHOENIX  offers  something  new — 
BOBBED  HOSIES — good  from  every  view! 
In  form  and  fit  they’re  more  than  neat. 

For  Comfort  and  Service  they  can’t  be  beat — 
So  step  around  to  the  nearest  store 
And  wear  BOBBED  HOSIES  forevermore. 
In  every  shop  there’s  a good  display. 

And  in  every  street  on  a windy  day!

Switchboard 


J^E  CHRISTEN  THE  NEW  KEITH'ALBEE  SWITCHBOARD  THE 
N.  V.  A.  SWITCHBOARD,  BEARING  THE  MONOGRAM  AND 
INSIGNIA  OE  THE  NATIONAL  VAUDEVILLE  ARTISTS,  KNOW- 
ING  THAT  N.  V.  A.  STANDS  EOR  THE  VERY  HIGHEST  TYPE  OF 
ARTISTS  AND  PRODUCTIONS,  endeavoring  on  our  part  to  present  an  instrument 
that  will  make  it  possible  to  place  before  the  public  ordinary  harmonious  light  sur- 
roundings in  a way  to  enable  the  artist  to  make  a presentation  with  greater  and  more 
pleasing  effect,  making  THE  SWITCHBC^RD  OPERATOR  AS  MUCH  A PART 
OF  THE  ACT  AS  THE  ARTIST  HIMSELF. 

A SWITCHBOARD  where  it  is  possible  to  bring  out  the  most  harmonious 
effects,  where  real  operation  will  produce  presentations  as  effective  as  your  orchestra 
or  pipe  organ,  PRE-SELECTIVE  HAVING  MANY  SCENES  IN  ADVANCE; 
ALSO  POSSIBLE  TO  HOLD  PREVIOUS  SET-UPS  AS  LONG  AS  DESIRED; 
YOU  CAN  HOLD  THROUGH  ANY  SCENE  WITHOUT  “BLACK  OUT"  OR 
YOU  MAY  “BLACK  OUT”  THE  ENTIRE  STAGE  OR  HOUSE  WITHOUT 
DISTURBING  ANY  SET-UP.  MECHANICALLY  PERFECT  AND  ELECTRI- 
CALLY ARRANGED  FOR  STAND-BY  SERVICE,  WITH  VISUAL  PILOT 
SUPERVISION  UP  TO  THE  BRANCH  FUSES,  GIVING  THE  OPERATOR 
ABSOLUTE,  POSITIVE  CONTROL  AT  ALL  TIMES. 

A SWITCHBOARD  that  has  no  equal;  made  from  the  very  best  materials  that 
can  he  purchased,  requires  no  more  space  on  your  stage  than  the  space  ordinarily 
occupied  by  your  dimmer,  being  a composite  pilot  board  and  dimmer  bank,  USED 
ON  THE  LARGEST  STAGES  IN  THE  COUNTRY  FROM  COAST  TO  COAST.

If  I did  not  always  applaud,  it  was  not 
because  I did  not  enjoy  the  various  acts.

In  Behalf  of  Sick  Actors 

ON  FRIDAY  evening  simultaneous  performances 
will  he  given  at  the  Palace  and  Loew's  State 
theaters,  proceeds  Iroin  which  Will  go  to  the 
Mck  and  death  fund  of  the  National  VYudcviile  Artists 
of  America. 

When  we  think  of  vaudeville  actors,  it  is  but  nat- 
ural for  us  to  think  most  of  those  who  have  risen 
high  in  their  profession  and  who  draw  large  salaries, 
but  such  artists  arc  in  the  minority.  Many  of  them 
have  little  opportunity  to  put  aside  something  for 
the  rainy  day,  and  when  sickness  overtakes  them 
cn  route  they  w'ould  have  a hard  time  of  it  were  it 
not  foi  the  measures  established  in  their  behalf. 

You  remember  perhaps  that  only  a few  months  ago 
a 72-year-old  actor  was  struck  by  an  auto  while  on 
his  v.ay  to  the  Ohio  Theater.  For  a time  it  was 
thought  that  he  would  not  live.  Although  he  was 
not  working  as  a vaudeville  actor,  it  was  the  Na- 
tional Vaudeville  Artists  who  took  care  of  him.  They 
spent  more  than  .$1000  on  his  case  before  they  put 
him  in  a drawing-room  and  sent  him  back  to  New 
York  to  convalesce. 

The  actors  want  to  give  the  public  full  measure  in 
return  for  the  support  accorded,  so  we  have  the  word 
ot  the  promoters  that  Friday's  show  will  he  a $10 
performance,  althcugh  the  price  of  a ticket  is  only  $2. 

We  owe  something  to  the  stage  folks  whose  mis- 
sion It  is  to  turn  the  clouds  inside  out  and  show  us 
the  silver  lining  once  in  a while.  Let's  pack  both  of 
those  theaters  next  Friday.

CLEVELAND  will  be  treated  Friday  evening  to 
an  entertainment  out  of  the, ordinary — a bene- 
fit performance  given  simultaneously  in  Keith's 
Palace  and  Loew's  State  theater  to  aid  the  sick  and 
death  fund  of  the  National  Vaudeville  Artists  of 
America.  Local  theater  patrons  have  a great  var- 
iety offered  them  in  the  course  of  each  year;  here  is 
something  with  a different  purpose  behind  it. 

This  is  100  per  cent,  charity.  Actors  who  bring 
to  the  program  a rare  variety  and  richness  of  talent 
donate  their  time  and  effort.  Every  dollar  paid  at  the 
box  office  goes  to  the  fund  on  which  scores  of  vaude- 
ville performers  have  depended  at  one  time  or  an- 
other for  temporary  assistance.  Anyone  familiar  with 
stage  lore  can  recall  instances  where  such  a fund  has 
alone  stood  between  some  unfortunate  man  or  woman 
and  absolute  suffering. 

Fancy  stage  salaries  are  in  large  part  figments  of 
the  imagination.  Actors  work  hard  for  what  they 
get,  and  usually  they  get  much  less  than  the  public 
assumes.  Moreover,  they  are  generous  to  a fault  and 
are  always  ready  to  help  those  less  fortunate  than 
themselves.  They  are  entitled  to  the  assurance  which 
such  a fund  as  this  represents. 

Patrons  of  these  benefit  performances  will  not  only 
be  entertained  by  high-class  artistry  but  will  at  the 
same  time  perhaps  be  helping  some  favorite  of  other 
days  now  fallen  on  unhappy  times.  It  is  worth  while.

e came  in  lor  me  great  Dans  ana 
topped  there  for  several  days 


steps  to  secure  Maxwell  House  Coffee 
for  use  in  their  own  homes. 

Today  this  same  blend  of  fine  coffees 
from  the  old  South  is  known  and  served 
in  all  sections  of  the  country.  It  has 
pleased  more  people  than  any  other 
blend  ever  offered  for  sale.  And  the 
same  firm  of  coffee  merchants  who  per- 
fected  it  years  ago  still  blend  and  roast 
it  today.  Maxwell  House  has  become 
the  largest  selling  high  grade  coffee  in 
the  United  States — the  first  choice  in 
a long  list  of  America's  leading  cities. 

The  smooth  richness  and  rare 
fragrance  of  this  wonderful  blend 
are  now  offered  to  you.  Just  as  to 
the  guests  of  the  old  Maxwell 
House,  it  will  bring  to  your  family  a 
new  idea  of  how  tempting  a cup 
of  coffee  can  actually  be.  At  break' 
fast  and  dinner  it  will  add  a new  and 
very  real  pleasure.  Your  grocer  has

— a southern  belle's  recollections 
of  the  old  Maxwell  House 

SILVER  haired  ladies  with  a look  of 
eternal  youth  in  their  eyes,  the  belles 
of  another  day — the  beauties  of  long 
ago.  It  is  they  who  can  best  tell  you  of 
the  Maxwell  House  and  of  its  glories. 

“When  I was  a young  girl,  the  Max- 
well House  played  a part  in  my  life  that 
I shall  never  forget,”  are  the  words  of 
one  southern  lady.  “We  used  to  drive 
in  by  carriage  for  each  of  the  balls  and 
stop  there  for  several  days.  To  me  and 
to  all  my  friends  it  was  always  a place 
full  of  enchantment.” 

Throughout  the  southern  states  the 
Maxwell  House  was  justly  celebrated. 
Each  of  the  beautiful,  courtly  balls  held 
there,  was  an  event  of  widespread  im- 
portance. But  even  more  talked  of  in 
that  land  of  good  living  was  its  food  and 
its  coffee.  As  the  years  went  by,  it  was 
its  coffee  which  brought  to  the  Maxwell 
House  the  most  enduring  fame.

Those  who  once  stopped  there  always 
remem.bered  the  coffee  served  at  the 
Maxwell  House — a special  blend  full- 
flavored  and  mellow  like  no  other  kind. 


How  the  whole  nation  learned 
of  this  coffee 

Year  after  year  the  great  folk  of  the 
South  carried  the  news  of  this  wonder- 
ful blend  to  their  homes.  Gradually  in

RY  CLEANING  is  science,  as  we  should  know. 
Adds  to  appearance  wherever  we  go. 

Dry  cleaning  to  our  make-up  plays  a great  part. 
Dry  cleaners,  like  artists,  must  know  their  art. 

Good-looking  clothes  are  quite  a demonstration, 
Dry  cleaning  protects  the  health  of  a nation, 
Dry  cleaning  keeps  your  apparel  fit. 

This  we  learn  and  are  forced  to  admit. 


Insuring  applause  for  your  appearance  each  day, 
Whether  on  or  off  stage,  we  find  it  that  way. 
National  Association  of  Dyers  and  Cleaners,  too. 

Have  learned  the  dictations  dictated  by  you. 

Nothing  succeeds  like  success  as  we  know 
The  N.  A.  D.  C.  have  helped  every  show. 

They’ve  helped  as  they’ve  served  us  in  every  play. 
They  have  proved  the  friend  of  the  N.  V.  A. 

So  each  of  you  artists  when  taking  the  stage 
Should  remember  our  friends  on  the  opposite  page. 
They’ve  given  this  ad  to  help  us  along. 

They’ve  joined  the  chorus,  they  know  our  song. 

So  when  playing  their  cities  remember,  please  do. 
That  the  N.  A.  D.  C.  has  remembered  j'ou  too. 

The  N.  A.  D.  C.  is  guaranteeing  itself. 

So  just  place  their  memo  right  up  on  your  shelf. 

So  visit  our  friends  taking  care  of  your  clothes, 

Then  you’re  sure  you  are  dealing  with  one  who  knows 
Our  Friend,  our  patron  is  the  N.  A.  D.  C. 

So  let  the  N.  V.  A.  prove  we're  one  family.

Opinions  of  RUBY  NORTON  from  three  corners  of  the  EARTH 


AMERICA 


ENGLAND 


AUSTRALIA 


RUBY  NORTON,  just  ahead  of  CLARA  KIMBALL  YOUNG,  was  received  with  the  most 
enthusiasm.  This  girl  has  something  which  should  be  the  aim  of  every  single.  She  can  give 
her  audience  plenty  of  songs  without  tiring  them  and  without  the  impression  she  is  coy  and 
wants  to  be  coaxed  or  is  overanxious.  Her  act  got  stronger  all  the  way  and  finished  to  a 
whirlwind  of  applause.  “VARIETY.” 

Now  on  her  second  visit  to  these  shores  RUBY  NORTON  is  no  stranger.  The  tremendous  ova- 
tion she  received  last  night  proves  we  have  not  forgotten  her  splendid  work  last  time  we  had 
the  privilege  of  hearing  her.  She  is  one  of  the  comparatively  few  AMERICAN  performers  who 
understand  the  BRITISH  public  and  can  give  effect  to  their  requirements. 

LONDON  “STAGE” 

An  act  of  extraordinary  versatility  is  that  contributed  by  RUBY  NORTON  at  VICTORIA 
PALACE.  An  engaging  personality,  fine  voice,  dramatic  ability  of  no  mean  order  and  a dancer 
of  merit.  Nothing  in  the  entertaining  line  appears  beyond  her  range.  This  is  an  unexaggerated 
impression  of  a performance  so  well  endowed  in  variety  and  richness  in  resource  as  to  render  it 
remarkable.  Her  act  as  a whole  is  an  artistic  triumph.  LONDON  “ERA.” 

RUBY  NORTON  created  a sensation  at  the  TIVOLI.  She  has  revolutionized  Australia's  im- 
pression of  American  performers.  THE  “SUJ^,”  MELBOURNE- 

RUBY  NORTON  is  a pupil  of  George  Shiel  (Carnegie  Hall).

No  Charge  for  Service 

The  cost  of  “service”  usually  increases  with  the  degree  of  its  quality. 
Not  so  with  Insurance  Brokerage — 

Here,  a highly  developed,  expensively  maintained,  complete  insurance 
service  costs  less  than  the  commonplace  kind. 

Can  you  afford  not  to  adopt  it?

From  Our  Friends  In  Fie  w T o r \ 


FELLOW  ARTISTS  OF  THE  H.V.A. 

You  have,  no  doubt,  read  the  signs  on  the  walls  in 
your  dressing  room  or  somewheres  about  the  theatre  in  reference 
to  having  your  clothes,  costumes,  etc.  insured.  This  can  be  done 
for  $25,  giving  you  $1000  worth  of  insurance.  Is  it  not 
possible  that  you  can  get  this  into  your  heads,  or  must  the 
signs  be  printed  larger  and  then  do  you  need  an  explanation. 

This  day  I called  on  Brown,  Crosby  & Co.,  Inc.,  96 
Wall  Street,  the  well  known  insurance  brokerage  firm  represented 
on  the  opposite  page. 

It  is  the  most  interesting  thing  I have  ever  heard, 
nothing  to  worry  about,  nothing  to  think  of,  and  $25  insures 
$1000  worth  of  your  holdings.  The  writer  has  this  day  taiken 
out  a $3000  policy,  plus  a $2000  policy  for  ray  home.  They 
also  explained  to  me  many  other  kinds  of  insurance  such  as  are 
of  interest  to  Vaudeville  Artists  and  they  have  exceptional 
facilities  for  serving  in  every  way  the  members  of  the  n.V.A. 

There  is  the  subject  of  life  and  disability  insurance. 
Have  you  ever  thought  about  that?  Wliat  about  income  for  your 
dependents  and  for  yourself  in  the  event  of  accidental  injury 
or  for  your  old  age?  You  can  take  care  of  these  risks  by 
insurance  and  at  the  same  time  for  your  old  age  be  building 
up  a cash  value  under  a life  policy.  Have  you  ever  considered 
how  important  to  you  is  the  subject  of  automobile  insurance? 


The  firm  of 
representative  of  the 


Brown,  Crosby  & Co.,  Inc.,  is  the 
Keith-Albee  Circuit  and  places  all  its 


insurance  on  all  of  its  theatres.  What*s  good  enough  for 
the  Keith-Albee  Circuit  is  certainly  good  enough  for  you. 
Get  wise  to  yourseltfes  before  it  is  too  late.  You  need  the 
services  of  this  insurance 'off ice  as  badly  as  it  needs  you, 
so  my  advice  is  get  together  quicklyt 

Here’s  for  another  big  year. 

H.V.Aingly  yours, 

THB  EXTEMPORAIIEOU^CHAP

The  Baltimore,  an  old  friend  to  thousands  of  the  profession,  is  gaining

of  post-war  building  costs,  are  a relief  from  the  cramped  quarters  of  today.

The  beautiful  marble  Restaurant-Coffee  Shop 
offers  a 24-hour  service.  After  the  theatre,  the 
tempting  special  menus  prove  an  irresistible  lure 
to  theatre  folk. 

In  Kansas  City  there’s  a cafe — 

The  Centre  of  things  night  and  day. 

It’s  the  home  of  those  who  dine.

346  BROADWAY,  NEW  YORK,  N.  Y. 


Incorporated  Under  the 
Laws  of  New  York 


Life  insurance  is  not  a commodity;  it  is  service,  scientific  social  service.  Its  beneficence,  however,  is  not  limited 
to  paying  death-claims.  It  touches  society  at  many  points  and  renders  many  services  of  which  few  people  ever 
think.  As  policy-holders  you  are  public  benefactors,  not  merely  because  you  have  protected  society  by  protecting 
your  dependents,  but  because  you  are  advancing  human  efficiency  and  human  happiness  through  the  beneficent 
activities  of  this  Company’s  assets. 

The  assets  of  this  Company  benefit  both  the  insured  and  the  uninsured.  They  reach  all — even  as  the  rain  falls 
on  the  just  and  on  the  unjust. 

In  the  year  1925  the  Finance  Committee  invested  in  securities  that  demanded  discrimination  and  judgment 

$151,371,950.10  to  yield  on  the  average,  5.36% 

Analyze  that  total  and  you  at  once  see  how  widely  and  directly  it  ' ‘ ' 

touches  and  helps  the  community  at  large.  This  is  the  picture: 


MUNICIPAL  BONDS:  A capital  investment  of  $1,044,177.06,  to 

yield  4.33%. 

REAL  ESTATE  MORTGAGES:  During  1925  the  Committee  made 
6,895  separate  mortgage  loans  in  forty^one  States,  the  District 
of  Columbia  and  Canada,  aggregating  $93,534,753.22  to  yield 
5.57%.  These  mortgages  in  detail  were  divided  as  follows: 

5,151  Loans  on  residential  property,  representing  a capital  investment 
of  $28,562,173.86,  accommodating  5,940  families. 

635  Loans  on  apartment  and  housing  projects,  a capital  investment 
of  $26,327,240.00  accommodating  8,117  families.  A total  of 
14,057  families. 

170  Loans  on  business  properties,  a capital  investment  of  $32,801,- 
731.10. 

939  Loans  on  farms,  a capital  investment  of  $5,843,608.26. 

Capital  soundly  invested  in  Mortgages  on  Real  Estate  is  safe;  it 
yields  good  return,  and  renders  a genuine  public  service.  Your 
investment  in  mortgages  of  over  ninety^three  million  dollars  in  the 
year  1925  appears  in  the  balance-sheet  below  as  part  of  your 
total  investment  in  mortgages  amounting  to  $353,627,202.42. 
That  total  is  divided  into  exactly  the  classifications  I have  made 
of  the  investments  of  1925  and  is  all  equally  useful. 

RAILROAD  BONDS:  In  this  class  of  securities  the  Committee  in 
1925  made  a capital  investment  of  $21 ,41 6,375.55  to  yield  4.99%, 
as  follows: 

In  bonds  secured  by  mortgages  on  bridge  and  terminal 

properties  $ 1,558,365.00 

In  equipment  trust  certificates  secured  by  locomotives, 

freight  and  passenger  cars 8,882,184.18 


n bonds  secured  by  mortgages  on  railroads,  covering 
mileage  located  in  31  States  and  the  District  of 

Columbia  10,975,826.37 

This  Company  has  long  been  a large  investor  in  Railroad  Bonds. 
It  fought  vigorously  to  secure  the  Transportation  Act  of  1920 
under  which  the  railroads  of  the  country  have  been  rehabilitated. 
The  twenty-one  millions  and  over  invested  in  1925  is  a part  of 
the  total  which  appears  in  the  balance-sheet  below,  $325,062,694.07. 
That  total  is  in  turn  a part  of  the  service  to  the  country  which  is 
constantly  being  rendered  by  the  railroads. 

PUBLIC  UTILITY  BONDS:  Here  in  1925  the  Committee  made 

a capital  investment  of  $3  5,376,644.27,  to  yield  5.04%,  as 
follows: 

In  bonds  secured  by  mortgages  on  gas,  electric  light 

and  power  properties $25.605,1 15.07 

In  bonds  secured  by  mortgages  on  telephone  properties..  9,771,529.20 
Public  Utility  enterprises  represent  a relatively  recent  development, 
and  are  closely  allied  to  all  the  comforts,  conveniences  and  neces- 
sities of  present-day  life.  Your  investments  in  bonds  of  this  class 
in  the  year  1925  represent  properties  operating  in  twenty-five  States 
in  which  dwell  approximately  73,000,000  people.  These  institu- 
tions have  13,000,000  consumers,  and  a fixed  capital  investment 
of  three  thousand  million  dollars.  Through  your  investment  of 
over  thirty-five  million  dollars  in  1925  and  your  earlier  investments 
of  the  same  sort  you  have  become  a considerable  supporter  and  a 
definite  part  of  that  great  and  indispensable  modern  development. 
Every  dollar  of  the  total  investment  in  public  utilities  is  hard  at 
work  adding  to  the  sum  of  human  comfort. 


In  the  balance-sheet  below  the  activities  of  the  Finance  Committee  for  the  year  1925  and  in  previous  years  are 
projected  on  a larger  screen.  After  eighty-one  years  of  business  the  Company’s  assets  on  December  31,  1925  (taking 
bonds  at  market  value)  amounted  to  $1,149,471,556.02.  We  are  not  here  considering  the  strictly  Life  Insurance 
function  of  that  accumulation,  which  of  course  is  its  first  function.  We  are  emphasizing  the  fact  that  every  dollar 
of  that  huge  sum  is  working  every  minute  in  the  public  interest,  something  you  as  policy-holders  seldom  think  of, 
something  the  public  is  scarcely  aware  of.  You  insured  your  lives  in  this  Company  primarily  to  protect  your  old 
age  and  your  dependents.  You  performed  a good  deed.  Good  deeds  go  far.  They  illustrate  the  truth  of  what  Portia 
says  in  the  “Merchant  of  Venice’’; 

"How  far  that  little  candle  throws  his  beams!  So  shines  a good  deed  in  a naughty  world.” 

Your  policies  are  separate  candles;  they  shine  far. — DARWIN  P.  KINGSLEY,  President.

When  Covered  Wagons  Rolled  Down 
State  Street  This  Bank  Was  Founded 


TDEFORE  railroads  had  made  Chicago  the  shipping  center  it  is 
^ today,  the  covered  wagons  outfitted  here  for  the  Northwest 
where  a young  civilization  was  pushing  into  the  wilderness. 

In  those  pioneer  days  this  bank  was  founded  to  serve  the  fast- 
growing  community  clustering  around  the  river  front. 

The  growth  of  this  bank,  founded  62  years  ago  on  sound  and 
progressive  principles,  has  been  steady  and  consistent,  as  testified 
to  by  our  more  than  $65,000,000  of  combined  deposits,  without 
the  aid  of  consolidations. 

“A  big,  friendly  institution  where  the  spirit  is 
democratic  and  it  is  a pleasure  to  do  business.”

An  institution  which  has  served  the  artists  in  every  way 
With  a Savings  Department  for  every  N-  V.  A.

ANNIVERSARY 


Every  Artist  today,  that  comes  here  to  play 
His  abode  should  always  know 
So  when  said  and  done  you'll  find  everyone 
To  the  Lincoln  Hotel  will  go; 

Where  ere  you  may  roam 
You  must  have  a home, 

Especially  where  you  will  play. 

So  to  feel  proud,  just  follow  the  crowd 
To  the  above  Hotel  today. 


Sure  IS  a treat,  these  Artists  to  meet 
The  bunch  that  is  right  on  top 
You'll  understand,  when  you  shake  each  hand, 
In  the  Lincoln  Coffee  Shop. 

Always  fair  weather  when  we  get  together 
From  miles  and  miles  away 
Food  appetizing,  self'advertising 
It’s  the  home  of  the  N.  V.  A.
